Ellis, a 31-year-old day trader from New Jersey, competed on season 21 of "The Bachelorette" with lead Jenn Tran, who ultimately chose Devin Strader during the final rose ceremony. Now, he's back on another quest for true love, becoming the second Black male lead in the franchise's history.

The newest lead of the ABC reality franchise talks about the on-screen appearance of his late grandmother, and how his time on the show helped him reconcile with his father.

There won’t be a new season of “ The Bachelorette ” this summer, Variety has learned.

It’s typical to see about a third of the contestants sent home on Night 1. Joey Graziadei eliminated 10 of his starting 32 in Season 28, and before him, Zach Shallcross sent 10 of 30 home. Grant Ellis started with fewer women and therefore didn’t have quite as many Night 1 goodbyes.

Grant Ellis is 31 years old, and he’s ready to find the one, settle down, and be the family man he dreams of becoming. Grant is a day trader, meaning he buys and sells financial assets such as stocks and bonds.

What is going on in Bachelor Nation? The Bachelorette is not returning for Season 22 following Grant Ellis’ season of The Bachelor, which just began. It’s not clear why this is happening, but Deadline reported that their sources have confirmed that The Bachelorette is taking a pause—the Bachelor spinoff is not canceled.
